Lembrane science has recently received considerable attention. Membranes for industrial separations, therapeutic medical applications, and controlled release, as well as membrane barriers for packaging, have all moved from the laboratory bench to the world of commerce. Forecasts call for additional applications and expanded markets in the future. However, for membranes to proceed beyond the present level of success, further advances must be made in the materials science of membranes. The objective of this book is to compile state-of-the-art reviews of several aspects of the materials science of synthetic membranes. It is hoped that this compilation will serve as a useful reference regarding past and present developments, and that it will provide the impetus for future advances in membrane materials science.
